no.  He's telling you how to get some use out of the tool as it is
written.  (Another one for the unwritten autoconf-FAQ).  Some of the
autoconf tests for C functions may happen to work when run from C++.

It would make sense to modify the test template to cover the standard
functions, e.g., from <stdlib.h> and <stdio.h>.

But getloadavg() is not a standard function.  There are a lot of those.
